Eastern Province

On 31 Oct the coalition reported destroying a hostile drone over the Riyadh region, as well as additional drones in the Eastern Province and the southern region. The interceptions caused no injuries, although debris fell in Riyadh. The coalition did not disclose where the drones were launched from. The Houthis deny carrying out any of the attacks. The incidents follow a series of drone interceptions reported on 30 Oct over Medina, Mecca and the Eastern Region.

A fire near the Ras Tanura refinery in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province was contained, Bloomberg News reports, citing a person familiar with the matter. The Houthi movement says it struck the refinery with a ballistic missile on 27 Oct, a claim Saudi authorities have not confirmed. Saudi-led coalition forces say they shot down three Houthi missiles aimed at the Eastern Province and intercepted two ballistic missiles fired at Riyadh, where shrapnel damaged a building, a construction project and a car. The refinery handles 550,000 barrels per day. Damage details remain unclear.

Saudi authorities say they shot down a Houthi ballistic missile targeting Riyadh, while coalition officials report intercepting between one and ten missiles, including drones and a cruise missile, over various regions. Spokesperson Colonel Turki Al‑Maliki confirmed the action after civil‑defence alerts.
